<p>JMeter now supports Java 17</p><p>JMeter 5.5 ships with log4j2 2.17.2</p><br/><table width="80%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="2" bgcolor="#828DA6" border="0">

<p>New component: <tt class="code"><a href="./usermanual/component_reference.html#Open_Model_Thread_Group">Open Model Thread Group</a></tt>
allows creating load profiles with variable load.</p><p>For example, if you need to gradually increase load from <tt class="code">0/sec</tt> to <tt class="code">10/sec</tt> during <tt class="code">minute</tt>
you could previously use <tt class="code">Thread Group + Timer</tt> combinations. However, then you need to compute
the expected number of threads, ensure they are created only when needed, and so on.</p><p>With <tt class="code">Open Model Thread Group</tt> you can configure the same load profile as <tt class="code">rate(0/sec) random_arrivals(1 minute) rate(10/sec)</tt>.
The thread group would spawn threads as needed to drive the configured load.
The load profile can use properties, so you can launch the same script with slightly different load levels,
however, the profile can't be updated while the test is running.
</p><p>The new thread group is experimental in JMeter 5.5, so please feel free to submit your feedback.</p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img width='1398' height='1117' src="./../docs/images/screenshots/open_model_thread_group.png"/><br>

<p>Another experimental feature in JMeter 5.5 is the ability to replace the Oro based Regex implementation
  by the built-in Java based one. To choose the Java based one, set the JMeter property <tt class="code">jmeter.regex.engine</tt>
  to the value <tt class="code">java</tt>.</p><br/><table width="80%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="2" bgcolor="#828DA6" border="0">

<p>Kotlin language is now used in some core classes and tests (e.g. Open Model Thread Group).
    JMeter is compiled with <tt class="code">apiTarget=1.5</tt>, and it ships with <tt class="code">kotlin-stdlib</tt> 1.6.
</p><p><a href="https://github.com/JetBrains/lets-plot-kotlin">lets-plot-kotlin</a> charting library is added,
    so it will be easier to refine and create new charts in UI in the future.

 if you run a HTTPS request on a web site with a SSL certificate (itself or one of SSL certificates in its chain of trust) with a signature
 algorithm using MD2 (like <tt class="code">md2WithRSAEncryption</tt>) or with a SSL certificate with a size lower than 1024 bits.
This error is related to increased security in Java 8+.
<br>

To allow you to perform your HTTPS request, you can downgrade the security of your Java installation by editing
the Java <tt class="code">jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms</tt> property. Remove the MD2 value or the constraint on size, depending on your case.

With Java 15 the JavaScript implementation <a href="https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/372">Nashorn has been removed</a>. To add back a JSR-223 compatible JavaScript engine you have two options:
  <dl>
    <dt>Use Mozilla Rhino</dt>
    <dd>Copy <a href="https://github.com/mozilla/rhino/releases/download/Rhino1_7_14_Release/rhino-engine-1.7.14.jar">rhino-engine-1.7.14.jar</a> into <tt class="code">$JMETER_HOME/lib/ext</tt>.</dd>
    <dt>Use OpenJDK Nashorn</dt>
    <dd>
      The OpenJDK Nashorn implementation comes as a module. To use it, you will have to download it and add it to the module path. A hacky way to download the version 15.0 (or later) and its dependencies and set the module path is outlined below:
